Death, Nothingness and Subjectivity Audio Essay Tom W. Clark
This is an audio version of philosopher, Tom W. Clark's essay "Death, Nothingness and Subjectivity". This essay was discussed in Sam Harris' Making Sense episode "The Paradox of Death". This version of the audio was done using a text to speech "AI". The speed is very fast. I recommend slowing it down to listen.

Are You A Dualist Without Knowing It? Many Materialistic Atheists Are
In this episode I explain what dualism and nondualism are, and explain why Ricky Gervais is actually a dualist, even though he doesn't believe in souls or anything supernatural. I talk about consciousness as a function of the brain (brains do consciousness rather than consciousness being something that can exist as a separate thing outside of the brain). I explain why death is not an escape from conscious experience. You can find more of my content on my YouTube channel, NaturalisTed.

A Materialistic Atheistic Answer To Death | Generic Subjective Continuity
This episode explains why atheists shouldn't expect death to be followed by a black void of nothingness. Sam Harris discussed Generic Subjective Continuity in his Making Sense Podcast Episode called The Paradox Of Death - Here I attempt to explain it in a way that everyone can hopefully understand. I then explain some of the implications (how it relates to David Benatar's Antinatalism, and some other areas). I may do future episodes on GSC.
